6502 is great for getting into assembly. It counts as tiny and I've done a great deal of things on the c64 including fixed point arithmetics, cellular automata and the like. Also a good place to start your "descent" into low-level code that article that was recently on here, http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/cdescent/ http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/cdescent/
